Improving Your Relationships with the 5 Drives — Part 2

Would you like to be free from worry?

We can improve our lives and relationships by understanding and working with the five drives. When these forces find expression, we can live fulfilled lives. Discover how to enjoy these five drives and enrich the lives of your loved ones.

Keys to Higher Yogas

Freed While Living

One of the goals of yoga is to become awakened by discovering your essence, your spiritual nature. Then you become a jivanmukta, a person who is freed while living — free of worry, blockages and emotional wounds. You become one who lives from the soul and is aware that your essence is eternal, pure and painless. In your sense of freedom, you can be a light to others.

Show More
  • We have a drive for the continuous, to go on and on
  • We want to know, to experience for ourselves
  • We want pure joy, without bitterness or pain
  • We want to dominate. (Yogis convert this drive into self-discipline.)
  • We want freedom
  • As you understand and express these drives, you can help those around you

How to Succeed

As you may know, we do not charge for our courses. All Yoga World content is free and available to you with our blessings. However, we do have a simple, but important request that’s key to the transformations necessary to succeed on the path.

We ask you to commit two hours a week to selfless service. This service can be anything you choose ranging from helping a family member or neighbor to volunteering at a nonprofit organization.

I Commit to Serve

This commitment is solely between you and your inner self.

Why the Commitment?
